I'm not sure if I have true blue dongle but I copied a game that was already on the ps3 and played it in the external and it worked. How do know if the external has true blue or not.i dont know what tru blue dongle does but maybe I have true blue dongle

Nope. I even uninstalled everything and started from scratch - this time I tried saying "No" to the thing MultiMAN gives (I think it said "Do you want to change PARAM.INFO from 3.72 to 3.55"), and it wouldn't even try to start; I also installed the .pkg files *after* loading the game up in MultiMAN, instead of installing them before like last time.

Still get the same error, still can't get past the "New Game" screen. How the hell did everyone else get this to work?!

To those people who have the "No default string. Must be loaded from INIFile." + screen hang when starting a new game, you need to have a disc on your ps3 and check the bd option on multiman when running this game. After mounting this with bd option turned on on multiman, you need to run this game via the disc icon on xmb, NOT ON APP/HOME/PS3_GAME/.

Oh my, you're such a noob, you know what? I didnt know anything about TB, you know what I did? I googled it, if that makes me smarter I dont know. I finished this game months ago, but now you dont need any of this, a custom 4.21 and 4.30 were released, so no more true blues or patches. I guess now its easy even for you?
